Re: My B.O.S.-10

this past weekend I decided to need to show my truck a lil love by doing a much needed mod to it, so I took this metal contraption



and decided to put it on the truck



a few hours later after some cutting grinding and welding it came out looking like this

Re: My B.O.S.-10

there's much to love about that S10... I really like what you did with the seat - I may have to borrow the idea for my studebaker (which is on an s10 frame).

Re: My B.O.S.-10

about the seat is a funny story - I was driving thru a suburb in houston that what some people would refer to as "ghetto" I was sitting at a light and noticed this old 2 bay gas station that was turned in an auto uhpolstery shop, the name I cant even spell or pronounce due to the fact im white and im in a hispanic neighbor hood, I stopped in cause i saw a familer hot rod sitting outside and wanted to check it out. Well after talking to the 1 person there who spoke english and getting a quote I decided to go back and get my seat done. I dropped it off friday morning, I got a call the next day saturday morning telling me my seat would be done around 2. With 250 bux cash in had CASH IS KING in that area I drove my truck home in comfort and been enjoying it ever since

Re: My B.O.S.-10

I actually did some work to the B.O.S. to keep it going down the road a lil smoother



I tore into the front end in the driveway last weekend, with temps in the low 70s I took advantage of it. I replaced the front springs, shocks, and swap bar end links, yea nothing to exciting - sorry but looking at the springs, you can see what I swapped them out lol

Re: My B.O.S.-10

I finally reached a breaking point with the ugliness of my truck and made a stop at walmart on the way home from work saturday afternnon to get some supplies to fix the problem.

So instead of going out and taking pics I spent a day and a half with the truck getting it to look like this, its far from perfect but its alot better than what it was

Re: My B.O.S.-10

this gets 2 thumbs up...this is MY kind of project...doing what you can, when you can, with what you got and with nothing more tha pocket and ash tray change. Freaking awesome!

I dig the other stuff here so much..but the down and dirty, beer budget project cars like this are what make me smile becasue I can relate to them.

Keep it up!

Re: My B.O.S.-10

drop spindles, cut half a coil off the front springs and a 2 inch block in the rear, someday put airshocks on the rear and install my hydro set up on the front

Re: My B.O.S.-10

In saying Airshocks do you mean Airride / Ride tech ? . Because there was no need to install a c-notch kit if all you were going to do is install 2" blocks .
